A 29-year-old former youth center employee faces 25 years to life in prison after jurors in the 364th District Court found him guilty Thursday of abusing children in the summer of 2014.

Charles Chavez’s punishment will be determined by Judge William Eichman, who dismissed the jurors after they returned their verdict finding Chavez guilty as charged of continuous sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony.

A Dallas high school substitute teacher has been arrested on a charge of having an improper relationship with a student. According to online records, Fallon Hunt, 28, of Irving, was arrested Tuesday and remained Thursday in the Dallas County Jail on $25,000 bail.

The homeless youth and the multinational law firm - which has a major Houston office - were looking for someone to develop a pamphlet that could help young adults living on the streets understand their legal rights.
"There's no one place on the Internet where you can go if you're a youth, you can have something spoken in your language at a level that you can understand, [providing] some practical tips about what you need to do to realize the rights you already have," Vigil said during a press conference Thursday at the Covenant House, a homeless youth shelter in Houston.
On Thursday, the Homeless Youth handbook for Texas debuted at a homeless shelter that's served young adults in Houston since the 1980s.
More than 50 attorneys and staff members at Baker & McKenzie, the advocacy group Texas Appleseed and Houston-based Weatherford International spent hundreds of hours researching, writing and editing the handbook.
Advocates hope it will become a much-needed resource for the large number of homeless teens and young adults in Texas.
More than 100,000 students were identified as homeless during the 2014-2015 school year throughout Texas school districts.
